Amazing watch. Really basic but useful. I am not the biggest fan of the low quality screen compared to the newer models. Worth the money

I am a long time user of Garmins. My Forerunner 35 lasted over 10 years. The 55 model is the upgraded replacement. An easy to use GPS watch, pretty much basic, but exactly what I wanted/needed. You barely need the manual, everything works just like before. I had it set up within 5 minutes. The use is very intuitive. Looking for a basic GPS watch to register your runs? Yhis is a great option.

Great watch for basic tracking. Battery life is phenomenal. I sometimes get a full two weeks. App sometimes needs refreshed but overall great.

My daughter runs cross country and she absolutely lives this watch. It holds a good charge for days and it’s very lightweight on her wrist. It has all the features to help monitor her mileage, pace, heart rate, etc. It’s a great watch!

The family has an older version of this with not as many features. We bought this for one member and it's great for monitoring workouts and also linking to the phone to at least see messages. The Thanksgiving time price was an amazing deal as well.

Ive had this watch for awhile now and had tested it through a lap swim multiple times. I have no regret and any complaints really- its a good watch for the price ! f you're looking for somewhat simpler this might not be yours but if you want something thats advance and can do a lot, this is a good budget option!

Pretty solid if you want the bare minimum in a smart watch. Watch band sticks to you like glue tho jajaja

Perfect for the aspiring runner. This is a great starter watch. Purchased for our young runner to track their mileage and speed. Very useful when doung sprint workouts as it can track splits.

I purchased this watch for my 13 year old son who runs cross country and he loves it! Would definitely recommend. Easy for a teenager to use.

I bought this watch as a starter watch for my eighth grade son who is in cross country. The watch has been very good for him to track his pace, time heart rate, and all the things that his coach is asking him to keep track. On top of the tracking purposes and also has a coaching program that can set workouts for him to achieve goals which he has used to increase his per mile time. Overall, I am super satisfied with this watch and think that it is a great purchase for anybody looking to track their running efforts.

I bought this watch as a birthday gift for my husband and he absolutely loved it. He uses it every day for both work and personal activities. It’s very practical because he can receive notifications from his phone, track his steps, and use many other useful features. The design is great and it has been a perfect gift. We are very happy with this purchase. Highly recommended!

Needed to replace my dead Garmin 9xx smart watch I use as an odometer and speedometer to track cycling and kayaking. Tried a less expensive model but the face was too small. This model is larger and has more features. A bit harder to operate than my old one, but has more functions.

Price is great for quality assurance both with software and hardware. Unfortunately it is not touch screen. Gps accuracy for runs is about +/-0.01 based on my use. Battery last about 5 days on heavy use. If you're looking for a watch in this price point it does not disappoint.
